We almost walked past this place, looks small from the outside... but you step inside and much bigger than you think, with every corner decorated uniquely.
I got the build your own omelet and it was so delicious. It came with potatoes and a slice of toast. The serving was large and matched the price. All tasted fresh, bursting with flavor, and we were 100% satisfied.
The service was great, everyone had a smile on their face and the waitress was timely.
Atmosphere was wonderful, quiet, cute, unique. Lighting perfectly dim. We will come back to try the soup and grilled cheese sourdough sandwich.

I have never experienced such poor and discriminatory customer service. I decided to visit this place based on the positive reviews and wanted to support a local business, but I left truly disappointed. I arrived around 10 a.m. on 12/18 for a quick lunch during a work break. Two women ahead of me were greeted immediately and seated, but when it was my turn, the host/server with a low bun looked at me, ignored me, and continued working as if I wasn’t there.

When he finally acknowledged me, I explained I was on my lunch break and asked what I could get quickly. His response was dismissive, saying everything would take 20 minutes because they were busy. As I tried to place a to-go order, he walked away mid-conversation to assist other tables and continued to ignore me afterward. I waited, but the disrespect was too much, so I left.

A business with this kind of reputation should absolutely train their staff in basic customer service, respect, and professionalism. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

Another amazing lunch here, had the empanadas and my friend had the beet salad. Both were delicious! Nice selection of tap beers to top it off!

Love! Love! Love! Everything was amazing. Great service, great food, and great drinks. The worst part was when our plates were finally empty. Can't wait to go back.

Always a tastebud’s delight. Their menu offers an excellent twist on comfort and classic foods with options for all food enthusiasts including vegetarian and vegan options. Their coffee is smooth and flavorful, their Bloody Mary is top notch, and their beer selection is pleasantly satisfying. Their staff are down to earth, friendly and attentive. Their restaurant is always welcoming and clean. Food is consistently amazing. I highly recommend.

This is our first time to Wisconsin, and this place was recommended by a local. We had an amazing experience here! The atmosphere was great, the service was incredible, and the food was phenomenal. Highly recommend! We already plan on coming back during our next trip!

Erin….. Class and talent you are with a splendid personality and great awareness. Excellent service and overall experience every single time. What a treat.

The food was great but I have not felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in a long time. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of my waitress but I don’t think she even said it. She wouldn’t make eye contact with me and was condescending when I asked a question about the menu. This was my first time dining here and I was greeted very warmly so the poor service was a surprise. She checked on me once and was just not very nice overall. I might give it a second try because I know people have off days but she looked pretty friendly with the other people she was helping. Idk
